I guess he'll do some concept art for the next expansion units, but do you guys think his work will really reflect in the game that much? It's more just about how he drew amazing units, and got a job with blizzard. | ||

I too remember when I thought the beta was right around the corner. Like the time I caught the ferry over to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe, so, I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. Give me five bees for a quarter, you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah: the important thing was I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones... | ||

they are just NOW hiring a new artist for SC2? are you kidding me? and his talents are probably going to have to go to waste taking orders from inferior artists (samwise) and dumb down his work to "fit" into Blizzard lore but at least hes getting paid CHA CHING | ||

I think they were told to come up with something as 3rd unit made in Factory before that though  It's a cool unit anyway | ||

I have no idea why people are saying that it is late for Blizzard to be picking up Mr Jack. Starcraft 2 is not even in beta yet. Anyway ten bucks says that we see Mr Jacks zerg artwork in the manual. | ||

I'm not someone who generally has much of a problem with Blizzard's art style and Samwise's work...but it's still great to see someone with this much talent and enthusiasm get onboard the SC2 art team. Happy sailing, dude! | ||

He totally deserved to get hired by Blizz. Cheers, Mr. Jack  | ||

MrJack apply as a concept artist for blizzard. You have qualifications for that, just show them a portfolio similar to what you have shown us and you are insta-hired. its not as hard as you think, i have respect for Samwise but he isn't anything special, he got hired by blizzard when they were tiny and working on simple 2d games." "ShaperofDreams February 17, 2009 11:53 Thread: MrJack Zerg Artwork Direct Link My father is a senior concept artist for Radical Ent., sister company of blizzard, MrJack's stuff is fine, he may have to get a little familiar with Maya so he can communicate with them, as long as he is creative and he can create skillfully (which he has proven) he'll be fine." BOOYAA Awesome job Jack I wish you the best of luck! | ||

I do remember him telling me that he saw the MrJack artwork thread and was glad the TL people liked his artwork. | ||
